In your opinion, is Swedenborg's description of Martians and Martian culture as accurate as his description of Heaven, or less accurate?

Read it from an Hermetic perspective and perhaps you will understand.
Yes, perhaps if I read the descriptions of Martians and Martian culture from the perspective of alchemy, astrology and Christian mystic perspective after joining the modern illuminati and pledging myself to the order of the Rosy Cross I will understand better, and the following passage about the People from Jupiter:
Quote:THE SPEECH OF THE SPIRITS OF JUPITER WITH ME BY MEANS OF THE LIPS AND THE GUMS OF THE TEETH. Spirits of the earth Jupiter, but of a different class from the former, also spoke with me, but in a different manner, to wit, by the tongue and the lips, so that the sound entered through the lips, thus by another way than that made use of in discourse with the angels.
1658.
They spoke, moreover, through my gums, so that the gums and teeth perceived it almost with a sense of pain.But there is this difference, that the spirits of our earth are not able to determine their speech into the face.

So to repeat the original question you completely ignored, In your opinion, is Swedenborg's description of Martians and Martian culture or Jupiterians and Jupiterian communication as accurate as his description of Heaven, or less accurate?
As someone who claims to have read these passages and made sense of them from a hermetic perspective, what is their meaning?
